Sound Off for December 1, 2016

Short and, we hope, sweet

Mr. President Elect, we’re going to remember your campaign promise of term limits. One for you, two for senators and three for representatives.

Did you hear Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel proclaiming that he would fight to maintain Chicago as a "Sanctuary City"? Is he kidding? No one is safe in Chicago.

Soy bean, potato, squash, chestnut, yam, cranberry, pumpkin, and carrot lives matter! Pass me some more turkey, please.

Spoiling good beer

The Founding Fathers created the electoral college for just this purpose — to be certain that a few hugely populated states would not forever dominate politics. Study your history and quit crying in your beer.
